Behind the front bumper

I will be installing my RB intake duct when it arrives but i would like to know if there is anything else i could/should do while the front bumper is off like check for anything, clean something, or do some other mod?
im thinking while its off, might as well get something else done before i put the bumper back.

p.s. i know removing the side markers is part of the bumper removal process but i've already changed them to the jdm markers.

Like the others said, install screens.

Oil cooler screens are super easy, u just slip it into the plastic shroud.

As for ac condenser screen, u have to decide if u want the stock one or racing beat.

Yea oil cooler screens ASAP. The longer you wait the worse it gets. I just recently installed mine at after 37k miles my drivers side oil cooler was beat to hell. It took at least 20 minutes of cleaning and straightening to get it back into just decent shape. Strangely enough the passenger side was way cleaner and had less rocks that hit it and that one took maybe 5 minutes.

thanks for your replies. looks like i'll be getting some ac/oil cooler screens.
i just took a look at the oil coolers up close through the bumper and they seem pretty beat so im gonna be spending some time cleaning/straightening the fins out too.
